Title: Pre-FS1 Timeline?
Post by: Shining_Saber on August 01, 2007, 12:51:01 pm
Is there any Pre-FS1 Timeline? (I mean before the 14 year war)  I wanted to make a campaign against some space pirates, but I don't know if there were any Fenris or any other ship besides the Apollo and Valkyrie before the 14 year war.  Thanks in advance.

There probably were some older ships.

The Angel Scout fighter was mentioned (basicly a Valkyrie with less engines)

And two fewer primary gunpoints.

were there any corvettes or anything? Or only small ship fighters?  If there are any, how many?  Alot?  A little?  One?
edit:  Where would I find the angel fighter?  Hades Combine has errors, and thats the only site I know of :(
found it.

When speaking of Terrans, I'd speculate that in addition to fighters and bombers there were only cruisers and either Orions or some pre-Orion destroyers.
The Fenris would seem somewhat old so I'd imagine it was something they used a lot during the 14-year war.

This is of course pure speculation since, as far as I know, there isn't much if any canon data about ships etc before FS1.

Two Terran destroyer classes have been modeled, the Reliant and Zagreus (tho the Reliant is not available yet, TVWP), and one Vasudan (the Bastet, also not released yet, INF:A)

One or two more Zod ones will be in TVWP if it ever gets released. TVWP also has a bunch of TV-War-era ships modeled but not yet released (IIRC).



There is a non-canon list of events in the wiki (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Terran-Vasudan_War), and I have a (self-made) list of the weaponry used from about 2327 on (along with working and battle-tested table entries, and detailed descriptions of most of it).

It's fun to use 2327 weaponry against Shivans. Makes for very intense missions if it's balanced along those lines. :D

Disclaimer: I'm not in TVWP, and my '27 mod was just thrown together for giggles.

The thing I need to know is what ships were available pre-february 2321, as the ending of my campaign will be at that date.

There's also the GTD Megaera (beam cannon prototype destroyer, now high-poly) and the PVD Het-Ka (or HLD Het-Ka). The new Het-Ka is different from the one in R1, it's got a more FS2-style head and two fighterbays. Look out for those in the next release of Inferno Alliance Standalone Version! :cool:
